Seafair Fleet arrivals, seen from West Seattle shores

The Seafair fleet started arriving this afternoon for tomorrow’s Parade of Ships/Flight – and many stopped to watch along Elliott Bay shores, including the photographers who shared these images. Above, that’s the guided-missile cruiser USS Bunker Hill (we’ll be on board tomorrow since it’s the official media-ridealong ship), one of several ships visiting this year.

After the parade tomorrow, 1:45-2:15 along the downtown waterfront (should be visible from Alki/Duwamish Head/Harbor Avenue shoreline a little earlier), the ships will be open for tours Thursday-Sunday – hours and locations are on this Seafair webpage.

Fascinating discussion. @ Under Achiever, according to Wikipedia: The standard positivist view of EMPIRICALly acquired information has been that observation, experience, and experiment serve as neutral arbiters between competing theories. (emphasis added)

So one theory:
Empire’s War Machines(Marcus M)
the competing theory:
Police boat for the world(Under Achiever)

I’m not sure who elected us boss of the world, on the other hand, our navy does proclaim itself a “global force for good” with a straight face.

I’ll just say it’s probably a good idea to show the folks back home what their taxes are paying for every now and then.

Just remember Marcus M these “War Machines” and the men and women who man them guarantee and protect your freedom to make idiotic comment like that. So do me and all who served a favor and show a modicum of respect and intelligence!!!!
